Hard going

[ForestGrump63]

Really tough 5k this morning. For the first time I wanted to stop and I wasn’t even halfway through. Kept going but time seemed to slow right down. I began to wonder if I’d accidentally switched my watch to miles from km but a quick check of the time assured me that this was not the case (unless I’d turned into usain bolt overnight) plodded on and got the 5k completed. Toughest run to date.

A lot of endurance is learning to ignore those gremlins. Good job!

Feel your pain Forest. Although you felt like stopping the point is that you didn't! That's amazing and shows that running really is as much mental effort as it is physical. You did it. Put this one down to experience and look forward to your next run which I'm sure will be better. You got this

Well done on booting the gremlins into touch! A 5k is a 5k regardless - now in the legs!!

Thanks x hoping the weekend is kinder. Usually have my best runs at weekend. Runs before work are a slog

Hard but you did it - celebrate the achievement, you wanted to give up but were able to battle through and complete your 5k. Happy running 🤗

Slow down and also make sure you’re hydrating enough the day before.
